How we run GBP

From claim to consistent Map 3-pack visibility

Weekly cadence beats monthly batching. Review velocity beats review count.

  1. 1

    Audit + claim

    Week 1

    We audit the current profile (or claim a new one), pull citation data across regional directories, and map the NAP-consistency picture. Audit doc lists exactly what to fix before we change anything live.

    Deliverable: GBP audit + citation graph map.

  2. 2

    Optimisation sprint

    Weeks 1-2

    Categories, attributes, services, products, photos (real ones, not stock), Q&A seeding, business description in Arabic + English. Every change documented for handover.

    Deliverable: Fully optimised profile + 20+ photos.

  3. 3

    Review-request workflow

    Week 2

    WhatsApp-first review request (better response than SMS across the GCC), Arabic-language templates, one-tap review link, and per-staff attribution.

    Deliverable: Live review-request flow.

  4. 4

    Weekly cadence

    Ongoing

    Weekly posts (offer, update, event), review response within 24 hours, photo refresh, Q&A new entries. Consistency beats volume.

    Deliverable: Weekly posts + insights monitoring.

  5. 5

    Monthly report

    Monthly

    Plain-English report: search visibility, calls, direction requests, photo views, review velocity, and what changed. Tied to actual business outcomes.

    Deliverable: Monthly insights report + iteration plan.

Typical end-to-end timeline: Month-to-month, results in 60-90 days

Straight from clients

What business owners say after GBP optimisation

“Ijjad completely transformed our online presence. Our new website generates 3x more inquiries than the old one, and we finally rank on the first page of Google for our main keywords. The team understood our market and delivered exactly what we needed.”
Business Owner, Riyadh
“We needed a website and mobile app on a tight scope. Ijjad gave us enterprise-quality work at a scope that made sense for a startup. Karam personally oversaw every detail. Couldn't recommend them more.”
Startup Founder, Amman
“Our online store went from barely making sales to processing 200+ orders per month after Ijjad rebuilt it. The storefront, Mada integration, and mobile experience are exactly what our customers wanted.”
E-Commerce Manager, Jeddah
“We launched our online catalog with cash-on-delivery and ZainCash in one checkout. The reconciliation dashboard alone saved us a person on the team. Orders are up materially since the rebuild, and the Arabic checkout actually feels native — not like a translated template.”
Retail Founder, Baghdad
“Discovery on Monday, scoped proposal Tuesday morning, signed Wednesday. The trilingual MVP shipped on time and Sorani Kurdish was a first-class language from day one — not an afterthought. Our diaspora users in Frankfurt and Toronto stayed engaged because the page weight is small.”
SaaS Founder, Erbil
“We needed governorate-level shipping rules, RFP-friendly service pages, and a site that loads fast on 4G in southern governorates. Ijjad delivered all three in five weeks. Their COD ops walk-through was the difference between launch and a half-built dashboard.”
Logistics Operator, Basra

FAQ

GBP — the questions owners actually ask

How do I rank higher on Google Maps across Jordan, Saudi Arabia, and the GCC?

Three pillars: a fully-optimized profile (categories, attributes, hours, photos, services), consistent NAP (name/address/phone) across regional citations, and steady review velocity. We handle all three. Most clients land in the Maps 3-pack for at least one city-keyword combo within 60-90 days.

How many reviews do I need to rank?

10+ recent, positive reviews push businesses meaningfully higher. Quality and recency matter as much as raw count. We implement an automated review-request flow that asks happy customers at the right moment — usually right after a successful service delivery. WhatsApp performs better than SMS across the GCC.

Can you manage GBP for businesses in multiple cities and countries?

Yes — multi-location is about 25% of our GBP work. We handle bulk verification, location-specific posts and photos, per-city Q&A management, and consolidated insights reporting. Whether you have 3 locations in Amman or 30 across Saudi Arabia, the operational overhead stays on us.

How is this page different from the country-specific GBP pages?

This page is the multi-country hub. google-business-profile-saudi-arabia goes deeper on Saudi-specific category mapping and Vision 2030 vendor visibility. google-business-profile-jordan covers Amman + Irbid + Aqaba dynamics. google-business-profile-iraq has Baghdad/Erbil/Basra-specific tactics including Kurdish business names. Pick the country page if your footprint is single-market.

How is GBP management scoped?

Setup-only one-time engagement covers profile claim, categories, attributes, photos, and Q&A seeding. Ongoing management runs month-to-month with weekly posts, review management, photo updates, and monthly performance reports. Multi-location bundles include consolidated dashboards. 30-day notice; no annual lock-ins.

Do you handle Arabic business names and bilingual GBP content?

Yes. Google now supports Arabic primary names with English alternates (and vice versa). For Kurdish-region businesses (Erbil, Sulaymaniyah), we add Sorani Kurdish via alternate-name fields. The hardest part is matching whatever's on your legal registration and citation chain across regional directories — we audit before changing anything.

What about Apple Business Connect and Bing Places — do you handle those too?

Yes — when scope justifies it. Apple Business Connect matters for any business serving iPhone users (especially KSA and KRG, where iPhone share is materially higher than Iraq south). Bing Places is increasingly relevant as more buyers use Edge and Copilot search. We bundle these into the Local SEO tier.

How do you measure GBP success?

Plain-English monthly report: search visibility (how often you appear in the 3-pack), calls from GBP, direction requests, photo views, review velocity, and leads attributed to GBP. We tie GBP wins to actual business outcomes — not vanity impressions. If a metric isn't moving, we say so and propose what to change.
